Hi, I'm Michael — the heart behind Salt + Savour. My passion for cooking started at a young age, learning side by side with my mom in the kitchen. Those early memories sparked a lifelong love for food and the joy it brings to people.
Over the years, I've explored flavours from around the world, always inspired by how different cultures use food to tell their stories. Cooking for family and friends naturally grew into catering — a way to share that same warmth and creativity with more people.
About twelve years ago, I fell in love with barbecue — the smoke, the fire, the patience, and the craft. Since then, I've dedicated myself to perfecting it while staying true to tradition. I use authentic ingredients and classic techniques, but I'm not afraid to bring in modern methods to make every dish consistent, flavorful, and unforgettable.
At Salt + Savour, everything starts with the best and freshest ingredients. Whether it's a small family gathering or a large event, every dish is made with the same care and passion. Because at the end of the day, I love to cook, and I love to eat.
From a simple weekend feast at home to large-scale corporate productions, Salt + Savour delivers a premium pit-to-plate experience. Whether you need a full team on-site or just a few signature trays delivered to your door, we’ve got you covered.
